Also, it seems to me that the commentators to my thread are thinking I'm throwing out low offers to see what sticks.This isn't the case at all.I'm an Investor that buys for FUTURE appreciation of both Cash Flow and Appreciation. 6 of the 8 Investment Properties I bought were from retail advertising from Brokers on the MLS.I am already wealthy and believe in setting up a win-win scenario for everyone, including the Seller, the Broker, and myself.I don't believe getting a 5% discount now on a price is worth it in my scenario.For instance, I bought a property 2000 for $140k purchase price.

In the future we obviously want to go bigger.

I appreciate the welcome I am sure I will have some questions for you in the near future.  

That mean the future rent from the property you are buying will not count.You are required to have the intention to live in the property for a minimum of one year.  

Let's connect in the future! 

I am currently in the Norfolk area until Oct 20th for work and am researching this local market so I can make some investments in the future.

Showers have mixing valves and await electrician to be able to add full green board.That "rough plumbing work" will become an issue in the future, but stay tuned for that!

However in the future consider putting a rehab team together because you can make more money finding deals than doing sweat equity.

I am new to the real estate market and I am interested in purchasing a multi family in the near future as a buy and hold property (not owner occupied).

Based on our goals, we will be flipping but do have plans for multi family rentals in future.
